Notes Payable

On May 26, 2006, the Company issued $190,000 of 11.5% senior secured notes (“2014 notes”) due May 15, 2014 with interest payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2014 notes are guaranteed on a senior, secured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future restricted domestic subsidiaries. The 2014 notes and guarantees are secured by first-priority liens, subject to permitted liens, on substantially all of the Company’s PP&E, domestic capital stock and some foreign capital stock.  Domestic capital stock includes the capital stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and certain of its joint ventures. Foreign capital stock includes up to 65% of the voting stock of the Company’s first-tier foreign subsidiaries. The terms of the 2014 notes do not contain financial maintenance covenants.

The Company can currently elect to redeem some or all of the 2014 notes at redemption prices equal to or in excess of par depending on the year the optional redemption occurs.  The Company may also purchase its 2014 notes in open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions and then retire them or it may refinance all or a portion of the 2014 notes with a new debt offering.

On August 5, 2011, the Company completed the redemption of an aggregate principal amount of $10,000 of its 2014 notes. The Company redeemed a portion of the 2014 notes under the terms of the indenture governing the 2014 notes (the “Indenture”)  at 102.875% making the aggregate redemption price $10,288 which excluded $256 in accrued interest. The Company financed the redemption through borrowings under its revolving credit facility.  In connection with the redemption, the Company entered into a twenty-one month, $10,000 interest rate swap with Bank of America, N.A. to provide a hedge against the variability of cash flows (monthly interest expense payments) on $10,000 of LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.  This interest rate swap allows the Company to fix the LIBOR rate at 0.75%.

Revolving Credit Facility

Concurrent with the issuance of the 2014 notes, the Company amended its senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (“Amended Credit Agreement”) which, along with revising certain terms and covenants, extended its maturity date to May 15, 2011.  On September 9, 2010, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (as co-borrowers) entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("First Amended Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (as both Administrative Agent and Lender).  The First Amended Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of $100,000 (with the ability of the Company to request that the borrowing capacity be increased up to $150,000) that matures on September 9, 2015.  However, if the 2014 notes have not been paid in full on or before February 15, 2014, the maturity date of the Company’s revolving credit facility will be automatically adjusted to February 15, 2014.

The First Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for asset-based loans that restrict future borrowings and certain transactions. The covenants include restrictions and limitations on (i) sales of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution and the issuance of capital stock, (ii) permitted encumbrances on property, (iii) the incurrence of indebtedness, (iv) the making of loans or investments, (v) the declaration of dividends and redemptions and (vi) transactions with affiliates.  As long as pro forma excess availability is at least 27.5% of the total credit facility or, if applicable, other specific conditions are met, the Company can make certain distributions and investments including (i) the payment or making of any dividend, (ii) the redemption or other acquisition of any of the Company’s capital stock, (iii) cash investments in joint ventures, (iv) acquisition of the property and assets or capital stock or a business unit of another entity and (v) loans or other investments to a non-borrower subsidiary.  The First Amended Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a trailing twelve month fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 should borrowing availability decrease below 15% of the total credit facility.  There are no capital expenditure limitations under the First Amended Credit Agreement.  The Company was in compliance with all such covenants at September 25, 2011.

The First Amended Credit Agreement is secured by first-priority liens on the Company’s and its subsidiary guarantors’ inventory, accounts receivable, general intangibles, investment property and certain other property. The Company’s ability to borrow under the First Amended Credit Agreement is limited to a borrowing base equal to specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and is subject to other conditions and limitations.  Borrowings under the First Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at rates of LIBOR plus 2.00% to 2.75% and/or prime plus 0.75% to 1.50% depending on the Company’s level of excess availability. The unused line fee under the First Amended Credit Agreement is 0.375% to 0.50% of the unused line amount.

The weighted average interest rate for the revolving credit facility borrowings for the three months ended September 25, 2011 including the effects of all interest rate swaps was 3.4%.  The Company has $2,695 of standby letters of credit at September 25, 2011, none of which have been drawn upon. As of September 25, 2011 and June 26, 2011, the Company had $54,598 and $51,734 of borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility, respectively.
